Col., William G. Jones

was engaged in the battle of Chickamauga. June 1863.  His regiment, the Thirty-sixth Ohio, was included in Turchin's Brigade of the Fourteenth Corps.  He wrote in his pocket memoranda"  "Off to the left; merciful Father. have mercy on me and my regiment, and protect us from injury and death" -- at 12 0'clock.  At 5 that afternoon, he was fatally wounded and expired at 7 that same evening, on the battle-field.  His remains were taken by the rebels, but in December, 1863, they were exhumed and interred in Spring Grove Cemetery, Cincinnati.¹

Col. Fred C. Jones

held command of the Tenth Brigade marching from Wild Cat, Ky., to Nashville, through a perpetual skirmish.  during the Battle of Stone river, Col Jones' regiment, the Twenty-fourth, was on the front and left of the line.  During the afternoon, when the rebel assault upon the left became furious, Col. Jones' ordered his men to lie down and hold fire, which was obeyed.  They rose to pour a deadly volley into the rebel ranks, and rush forward in a fierce charge.  The capture of an entire rebel regiment was thus effected, but Col. Jones was shot in the right side.  He was carried to the rear.  "I know it; I am dying now; pay no attention to me, but look after my wounded men."  He survived about ten hours.  His remains are buried in Spring Grove Cemetery, Cincinnati.¹
